BR did you ever get your 2004 Gun Digest? It also had a multi page article on Hudson designed bullets for Krags. Now with your photo of the Pope Stevens barrel on the museum thread, it makes it clear no one was hiding anything. If Pope had all original stamps on the barrel it might have been construed as fraud. Not sure what the rules were back then, maybe the eight shallower groves was the point? If he had made them with 4 standard grooves just tighter tolerance, would that have been OK?
